if you want to talk Crimea then be prepared to defend Vicky Nuland.John McCain and Robert Kagan's role in Independence Square during the EuromaidanRussia has been in Ukraine since 2014. If your yardstick for "minor incursion" includes the better part of a decade, then maybe buy a new yardstick.
I like how you said "met with and began the process", because that allowed you to then conveniently ignore that not only did Trump increase sanctions against Russia, he killed a bunch of Russians in Syria.
The disconnect was because Trump was a moronic madman, who often had subordinates that defied him, not because Trump secretly had some other desire. The man was such a buffoon, they had to keep out of high level discussions, because he'd agree to give away the store on the spot.The disconnect between rhetoric and action was typical of his administration. With the exception of Iran and (relatedly and to a much lesser extent) Israel, however the foreign policy overlap in the last couple of administrations is actually pretty high.

the Rolling Stone lyric "made damn sure Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate" come to mind- as we fomented a revolution from a protest thru a riot to a revolution.
Crimea became a forced moved (as in chess term) to secure Sevastopoll etc.
im sure you gloss over stuff that doesnt fit your preconceptions or lack of native curiosityI'm sure it made sense to you before you started typing it.

was triggered by the west's attempt to pull Ukraine decisively into its orbit and defence structure, via an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement. Its rejection led to the Maidan protests and the installation of an anti-Russian administration – rejected by half the country – that went on to sign the EU and International Monetary Fund agreements regardless.It's not Russia that's pushed Ukraine to the brink of war | Seumas Milne

....well, it is true that we often don't like to hear information that casts our tribe - or notable members of our tribe - in a bad light.And I appreciate your answer about the Holodomor. Not Romney and all since.
The Democrats still are anti-US and pro-Russia as well as pro-China. That automatically makes them anti-NATO since the US is NATO.I'm so old, I can remember back when it was the Democrats who were anti-NATO, anti-US, pro-Russia.
I guess the right wing figured this century it was their turn?

NATO has been trying to get the Ukraine to join since the Warsaw Pact fell in 1989. Those nations that refuse NATO get destroyed. Just ask Yugoslavia. Oh wait, that's right you can't because Clinton declared that Yugoslavia no longer exists.
After four consecutive years of media lies about Russian collusion, and you still believe what the enemy of the people tell you? That is simply pathetic.
That is why Poland, Hungry, and the Baltic nations joined NATO. They were coerced by the US.
President Biden told Americans that Putin has made up his mind. He will invade Ukraine, according to the President.If Russia invades, the attacking force is outnumbered by the defending force. It would be disastrous for the aggressor. That is Military Strategy 101.
If Putin decides to invade, he will not only suffer a military defeat, but an economic calamity caused by Western sanctions as well. Russia's economy is vulnerable. It relies almost entirely on exporting energy products. That will come to an abrupt end if Russia invades, and Putin is not stupid.
You really didn't expect Poland or Hungry to state that they were coerced into joining NATO by the US, did you? Of course they are going to claim it was their choice, but that is a lie to help them save face. When Yugoslavia refused to join NATO Clinton declared it non-existant in May 1999, before the US began its bombing campaign in Kosovo. The dismantling of Yugoslavia began with the Croatian ethnic cleansing by the Bosnians, and the Bosnian ethnic cleansing by the Serbs immediately after the fall of the Warsaw Pact."This issue was brought up in his expose given on December 21, 1991. “Poland will tighten its relations with the North-Atlantic Treaty Organisation. We believe it is a pillar of European security and the military presence of the US is a factor of that stability. This is why the government will continue developing ties with NATO... It will be a policy improving our security,” the then PM said. The Defence Minister Jan Parys said that “in a broader perspective” Poland wants to be a member of NATO."
This is true for the other nations you wrote about.
20 years ago Poland joined NATO
On March 12, 1999, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary joined NATO as the first three countries of the former Warsaw Pact and communist bloc.tvpworld.com
There was no coersion for any of the former Soviet Union nations to join.
You also claimed that NATO has been trying to get Ukraine to join.
Ukraine submitted an application to join in 2008 that is still pending.
Which nations were destroyed and who did it?
The NATO campaign in Yugoslavia was intended to have them withdraw troops from Kosovo.
A country must determine their own choice about whether or not to join NATO, and none has been coerced.
Since you support DT, lying I would think lying would be a huge plus for a Biden in your estimation. I don't understand your concern.Biden is a liar we know. But being called one by Ukraine leadership is concerning

Ukraine Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told parliament on Friday that there is a low probability of any major escalation with Russia. He added that Ukraine intelligence sees every move made in the area.
Tensions at the Russia-Ukraine border have been ongoing, with several Western nations repeatedly predicting a huge war. Ukraine has chided those nationsfor causing a panic.

Biden is doing the same thing Clinton did in 1999, and what LBJ did in 1964, deliberately trying to provoke a war.

Of course they are going to claim it was their choice, but that is a lie to help them save face.

The dismantling of Yugoslavia began with the Croatian ethnic cleansing by the Bosnians, and the Bosnian ethnic cleansing by the Serbs immediately after the fall of the Warsaw Pact.
Immediately after Clinton destroyed Yugoslavia for refusing to join NATO, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania joined NATO within the next 5 years, seeing the outcome of those nations that defy the US. It is the US who is the threat here, not Russia. Specially the US when under the control of leftist filth, like Clinton, Obama, or Biden. You will notice that there was no "Ukraine" issues or other issues with any of the former Warsaw Pact nations when a Republican is President. Only when Democrats are President does NATO suddenly need to include all the former Warsaw Pact nations.
This is what makes the Democratic Party not just a threat to the US, but a threat to the rest of the planet. Democrats desperately WANT a WW III. They have been doing absolutely everything in their power to try to make it happen.
